How to keep footer at the bottom even with dynamic height website

My favorite jQuery/CSS solution for a sticky footer (non-fixed) is this:

CSS:

html {
    position: relative;
    min-height: 100%;
}
footer {
    display:none;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    height: auto;
    width: 100%;
}

jQuery:

function footerAlign() {
  $('footer').css('display', 'block');
  $('footer').css('height', 'auto');
  var footerHeight = $('footer').outerHeight();
  $('body').css('padding-bottom', footerHeight);
  $('footer').css('height', footerHeight);
}


$(document).ready(function(){
  footerAlign();
});

$( window ).resize(function() {
  footerAlign();
});

Note: your footer must start with <footer> and end with </footer> to use this code as is, or you can modify the code to match your footer's id/class.


I believe you are looking for a Sticky Footer

Try this: https://web.archive.org/web/20161117191810/http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/ (archive)

From the article above:

layout.css:

* {
    margin: 0;
}
html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto -142px; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
}
.footer, .push {
    height: 142px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}

The html page:

<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="layout.css" ... />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="wrapper">
            <p>Your website content here.</p>
            <div class="push"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="footer">
            <p>Copyright (c) 2008</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

I think this will solve all your problems:

    <script>

  $(document).ready(function() {

   var docHeight = $(window).height();
   var footerHeight = $('#footer').height();
   var footerTop = $('#footer').position().top + footerHeight;

   if (footerTop < docHeight) {
    $('#footer').css('margin-top', 10+ (docHeight - footerTop) + 'px');
   }
  });
 </script>

You need at least an element with a #footer

When not want the scrollbar if content would fit to screen just change the value of 10 to 0 The scrollbar will show up if content not fits to screen.


Hereby a simple solution

CSS:

.footer_wrapper {  width:100%;     background-color:#646464; }
.footer_wrapper.fixed {position:fixed; bottom:0px;}

JS:

if ($(".Page").height()<$(window).height()){
        $(".footer_wrapper").addClass("fixed");
    }else{
        $(".footer_wrapper").removeClass("fixed");
    }

HTML:

<div class="Page"> 

        /* PAGE CONTENT */

        <div class="footer_wrapper" >

            /* FOOTER CONTENT */

        </div>
    </div>
